Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will get to work cross-functionally on larger projects as well as working independently on smaller and/or strategic matters. You will also act as second in command in the team and support others in the team as well as presenting to the board on occasion.
Your Strengths

- Experience of working with high value contracts and complex matters.
- Ability to deal with a range of largely but not exclusively contractual projects.

Your Perks
- Salary up to £125,000 plus annual bonus.
- Contributory pension scheme.
- Car Allowance payable at £570.00 per month.
